“People who are homeless are not social inadequates. They are people without homes.” – Sheila McKechnie

“Seven out of 10 Americans are one paycheck away from being homeless.”

– Pras Michel

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.” – Mother Teresa

i wonder if homelessness in America is different than in Oz, because of having less government support? Or maybe we need to look at the homeless here, differently. You’re so right – homeless is not necessarily inadequate (though I guess sometimes it is).
